title	A "Sally B" B-17 Flypast, Thorpe Abbots, Norfolk - 27th May 2013
intro	As part of the 70th Anniversary of the USAAF 8th Air Force, the B-17 "Sally B", escorted by fighter planes of Eagle Squadron, does a tour of various airfields, departing Duxford, flying over Madingley near Cambridge and then visiting Thorpe Abbots before continuing to Leiston on the Suffolk Coast followed by a return to Duxford. Nosher, Isobel, the boys and Grandad all turf up with a picnic to watch the flypast and - after the crowds disperse - to look around the control tower museum and play on a Willys jeep.
